Most likely reason for not finding an installed icc is that the icc
environment (source the compilervars script if you have a current
version) wasn't set prior to running configure. Setting up the compiler
in question in accordance with its own instructions is a more likely
solution than the absolute path choice.
OpenMPI configure, for good reason, doesn't search your system to see
where a compiler might be installed. What if you had 2 versions of the
same named compiler?
